Rooms entity waiting at doors

I’m trying to make a rooms entity script, and it works, until you go ~20 rooms away from spawn. Then, it waits for 10-20 seconds at each room door before moving.

I think it has to do with the movetofinished at line 40 but I don’t know what’s wrong with it


game.ReplicatedStorage.PlayerDoorToServer.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr, playerdoor)
	print(playerdoor)
end)

task.wait(1)

for i, v:Part in pairs(workspace:GetDescendants()) do
	if v.Name == "RoomDoor" and v:IsA("Part") then
		v.Transparency = 0
		v.CanCollide = true

		v.Touched:Connect(function(entitycheck)
			if entitycheck.Name == "A20Hitbox" and v.Transparency == 0 then
				task.wait(0.75)
				entitycheck.Parent:Destroy()
			end
		end)

		v.ProximityPrompt.Triggered:Connect(function(sus)
			v.ProximityPrompt:Destroy()
			print("Door opened")
			game.ReplicatedStorage.IncrementEntity:FireClient(sus)
			v.Transparency = 0.5
			v.CanCollide = false

			function spawnEntity()
				print("Spawn")
				local clone = workspace["A-20"]:Clone()
				clone.Parent = workspace
				clone:PivotTo(workspace["The Lobby"].EntitySpawn.CFrame)

				local a20spawncue = clone.A20Hitbox.A20SpawnCue
				local a20entitystatic = clone.A20Hitbox.A20EntitySound
				a20spawncue:Play()
				a20entitystatic:Play()

				for i, room in pairs(_G.rooms_exist) do
					clone.Humanoid:MoveTo(room.Position)
					clone.Humanoid.MoveToFinished:Wait()
				end
			end

			local WillEntitySpawn = math.random(1, 5)
			if WillEntitySpawn == 1 then
				spawnEntity()
			end
		end)
	end
end

To me, it looks like it is stopping due to your death. Have you tested hiding in a locker to see how it moves? Or to simply make it so you do not die to see if the player’s death is the issue.

I’ve heard that MoveToFinished can be finicky. You could try this code instead:

local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")
local function waitUntilNear(part, nearTargetPart, nearDistance)
    while ((part.Position - nearTarget.Position).Magnitude > nearDistance)  and and part:IsDescendantOf(Workspace) and nearTargetPart:IsDescendantOf(Workspace) do
        task.wait()
    end
end

...
				-- (In your other code)
				for i, room in pairs(_G.rooms_exist) do
					clone.Humanoid:MoveTo(room.Position)
					waitUntilNear(clone.PrimaryPart, room, 3)
				end

Also note that MoveTo has a 8 second time out (after 8 seconds of moving the humanoid gives up and fires MoveToFinished. So it could also be that.

Here is the code example from the wiki to get around the time out:

local function moveTo(humanoid, targetPoint, andThen)
	local targetReached = false

	-- listen for the humanoid reaching its target
	local connection
	connection = humanoid.MoveToFinished:Connect(function(reached)
		targetReached = true
		connection:Disconnect()
		connection = nil
		if andThen then
			andThen(reached)
		end
	end)

	-- start walking
	humanoid:MoveTo(targetPoint)

	-- execute on a new thread so as to not yield function
	task.spawn(function()
		while not targetReached do
			-- does the humanoid still exist?
			if not (humanoid and humanoid.Parent) then
				break
			end
			-- has the target changed?
			if humanoid.WalkToPoint ~= targetPoint then
				break
			end
			-- refresh the timeout
			humanoid:MoveTo(targetPoint)
			task.wait(6)
		end

		-- disconnect the connection if it is still connected
		if connection then
			connection:Disconnect()
			connection = nil
		end
	end)
end

local function andThen(reached)
	print((reached and "Destination reached!") or "Failed to reach destination!")
end

moveTo(script.Parent:WaitForChild("Humanoid"), Vector3.new(50, 0, 50), andThen)
